Cherry Storage Cabinets and T.V. stand by Tiernan Roe Fine Woodworking

I just finished these cabinets on Friday. They're made from cherry and feature handmade handles. The two large cabinets were designed for alcoves either side of a chimney breast. One was to hold files and glassware, the other bottles and in the drawers underneath CDs.






The door panels are made from some highly figured pieces that I have resawn and bookmatched to produce a simulation of classic crotch grained veneer. The drawers are on wooden slides and have southern yellow pine carcases. The small unit is to take a DVD player and LCD screen.



















I made the handles for these cabinets because I was unable to source wooden D handles that suited. Those that were available were all too large. The front piece is made from steam bent cherry which is glued to some maple blocks.
The pieces were finished with a hand rubbed Danish oil finish which gives good protection with a deep satin finish.

Sliding Doors by Tiernan Roe Fine Woodworking 16/12/2006

Here's some photos of a set of sliding doors I did a few months ago. They are made of cedar to keep the weight down and slide on a brass rail on the floor. I fitted some bearings on the bottom to make them easier to slide but not so easy that they coud pick up momentum and smash into the stops. The glass is really quite heavy as it was only available as 6mm laminated which is required for building regulations.

At last the public get to see inside Tiernan Roe's workshop. I've been featured on a panorama photography site. Unfortunately I should have tidied a bit more before the photo was taken rest assured that I've done so since. You can check out the photo at www.ireland360.com The crisscrossed pieces to my left are the legs for the table that was in the design stage in a recent post; I'll have photos of the finished piece soon. Our dog Bainne is in there as well.
